nikka of course you would you don't bring in the numbers and money Simmons does. If you were that good they would give you more slack believe that.

Not the point here just sayin its pretty standard policy that u cant talk shyt about your company on social media. He told people to switch the channel and watch another network:krs:

Is your job to be provocative and opinionated?


I would be fired from my job if I threw a cold bucket of Gatorade on my boss after closing a big account..

People kill me with these apples and oranges comparissions with athletes and sports entertainment with their 9-5's..

It kinda is the point esp regarding what I quoted. Of course they would have gotten rid of you/my ass with no regard for human life in the words of Kevin Harlan but you can't get rid of dudes bringing you in that $$$ as easy.

I kinda forgot about that article he wrote until seeing he was suspended here.

Simmons is a g for that..It is a joke suspending a grown man from twitter for a couple days, i doubt that he even cares

He shouldn't of got suspended . But did they have a follow up interview or something with Sherman ?? If not then Sherman came off looking bad not really espn in that regards . He just blatantly trolled and made no attempts to make any point at all. So in that regard I disagree with both Simmons and the article writer . Sherman saying he won at life makes him look like a grade a jerk

that y'all knew by now

nobody disses skip bayless and gets away with it :ufdup:

I almost pity skip bayless. He showed up for work and got shat on my Sherman.

But...Bayless probably talked beaucoup trash abt Sherman prior to the interview. Skip had it coming. *shrug*
no pity given

Honestly surprised it was only 3 days given his critique of the television network. A couple years ago he was suspended two weeks for going at an ESPN affiliated radio station that he had bad blood with for years.

I never cared for bill simmions on espn. seems like the odd man out with magic, wilbon, etc. I don't feel like he brings anything....he seems like a fan that got the job as an analyst. He never brings insight IMO.
